5. Je ne comprends pas. (a/t)

[Gato Moteado]

nt

[rabid_nerd]

9. ??

maybe... Trying to think of the word for "at"...

"en el" should be in there maybe?

[xJlM]

12. Estoy a mi chambo

Not proper Castilian, but it's not true either. I'm laid off...

[kixot]

16. Correct.

It should read <<Estoy en casa.>>, or <<Estoy en el/mi trabajo>>

You use "el" or "mi" before "trabajo" because otherwise it reads "I am at job." instead of the desired "I am at the/my job"

[Skittles]

[Kat45]

14. I don't know Spanish but I picked one anyway

from my bits and pieces of knowledge of romance languages, I can often get the gist of it when I read something like this. I think I even picked the right one! :D

15. This must be the worst example of "soy" and "estar" comprehension ever!

Note to you gringos:

"Soy" is a verb of identity, such as color, shape, or other nontransient condition.

"Estar" is a verb of condition, such as temperature, weather, or other temporary trait not associated with the noun's abstract essence.

Yo estoy mal. El esta mal.
("I am/He is ill", temporary condition as in a cold or flu)

Yo soy mal(o). El es mal(o).
("I am/He is bad/evil", permanent condition as in schizophrenia or homocidal mania)

Also, <<¿Donde está usted?>> more correctly translates as "Where is you?"

"Where are you?" would be <<¿Donde estás?>>
